Most jobs can be done after a week or two (three at most) of good training. There should be no need for multiple interviews for a position like that.

But if it's a job working for Independence Blue Cross then it's probably a lot of people in the running for the position and they want to make the right choice.

Wish my job would interview people two times because seems like everyone who is hired doesn't make it past 90 days.

Yep, now applying for jobs consist of sending your resume, filling out an online app, taking assesments, phone interview, in person interview, second interview.

Head over to the job search section of this forum and you will see. There was recently a thread about a receptionist job requesting a physical physical fitness test.

Sorry, no it's the "Nicer" brush off. Basically I see it as a "Don't call us, we'll call you" or to put it better, had they said "When can you bring in your identification?" or had they asked "Whats the next step?" that would have been a positive.

That could be true and add to the fact that the OP wasn't dressed properly for the interview which may hurt his chances. He said he didn't wear dress pants and that he wore a jacket that was zipped up. So that could play a factor in him making a good first impression on the interviewer.

Interviewing twice for any position is a smart move on a hiring manager! It help weed out people who are just not right for the position.


OP, if I was you I would wait till Wednesday and then call the person that you had contact with. Let them know you are very much interested in the position and were wondering if they made any decision yet on who they would be hiring. Thank them for their time!

Don't blame you for being stressed. Very little more stressful than a job search and waiting for a call. Of course there is nothing you can do. For my part, I would not call the HR to inquire. They said they would be in contact. I'd let it go at that.

Good luck to you.
